Executive Summary

� Over the year, the unemployment rate has edged up by a marginal value. Unemployment matched a six-year low of 4.4 percent in March 2007, but has drifted since then. Still, national unemployment stands at the so called “full employment” figure of 5 percent in

December 2007.

� The U.S. Monster Employment Index charted a tempered ascent in 2007, featuring polarized growth in online recruitment activity and related job opportunities as the year progressed.

● Growth was primarily driven by higher demand for workers in public administration and the goods-

producing industries; demand in the service industries was more mixed.

� Among generations, Gen Y (Born 1978-1990) is the fastest growing segment of the

workforce and expected to outnumber Gen X (Born 1965-1977) by 2010.

� Job Seekers/Candidates focused on finding new job opportunities are more active at the beginning of the year with seasonal spikes in activity at the end of Q1, Q2 and at the end of

the summer.

● For maximum exposure to job seekers/candidates searching for jobs, post jobs early in the week.

� Job Seekers/Candidates on Monster span career levels, education levels and years of experience.

� The increase in Job Seekers/Candidates in many U.S. states and markets began to stabilize in 2007 after experiencing solid growth through 2006.


Unemployment Edging Up In The U.S.

� Total Nationwide Employment reached 146.2 million in December 2007.

� The U.S. Unemployment rate continues to edge upward to 5.0 in December 2007.

� Total Nonfarm Employment growth rate slowing to nearly 1.0 percent year over year.

Despite Year-end Slowdowns, Online Recruitment Was Stronger In 2007 Than In 2006

� According to the Monster Employment Index, online recruitment activity and related job opportunities have been slowing.

Nonetheless, online help-wanted advertising was stronger in 2007 than in 2006, providing a contrast to dissenting opinions

of an economic slowdown.

� Opportunities were particularly rich for graduating college students and industry veterans, as businesses looked for young

talent while simultaneously combating the immediate brain drain from retirements by older-generation workers.

� Key Trends

● Competition for healthcare professionals was hotter than ever.

● Demand for manufacturing and trade industry workers was on the rise as the weakening US dollar propelled exports.

● Fairly robust consumption spending nationwide supported high employment of workers in leisure and entertainment.

● Ill-effects from real-estate turmoil had limited reach outside of the financial services industry and select metropolitan

markets.

● Diverse economic opportunities developed from the booming environmental movement, which was pervasive in both government and private industry policy.
